2008 has been a pretty decent year. Nothing super horrific happened. No massive hurricanes made landfall, the economy's booming, we're no longer at war, and Richard Gere stopped making movies. Hey, good morning everyone! I slept pretty well, but I had the weirdest dream! It was so delightful! ...
Friday, December 26, 2008 10:46am
I trust everyone had a nice Christmas this year. Sorry I'm a day behind on the finale, but 'twas a busy day yesterday. I'll jump right into the recap of the last 24 songs: Run DMC – "Christmas in Hollis" MC Lars – "I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas" Blink-182 – "I Wo...

It is Christmas Eve, and I"m here, at work. Not only that, it was 71 degrees when I left for work this morning. The weather banner on WWL-TV's website says "Holiday weather: It's beginning to not look a lot like Christmas, as record highs and rain are possibilities." Save us, Al Gore! Anyhow, s...
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 9:00am
Today is Christmas Adam. My uncle, for years, has been calling the day before Christmas Eve "Christmas Adam." It shows how much my sense of humor has come from the rest of my family. The answer is "a lot," for those keeping score. It was warmer this morning (46) than it was yesterday morning (34), ...
Monday, December 22, 2008 1:06pm
I just ate this huge roast beef poboy for lunch. It was humongous, even. I don't know what type of people can eat these things. Whomever they are, they might be giants, I'm assuming, to consume all this food. There's your damn segue right there! They Might Be Giants – "Santa's Beard" ...
Sunday, December 21, 2008 11:51pm
As of sundown today, Hanukkah began. The festival of lights, the other major religious winter holiday. You'd think with the amount of Christians and Christmas related things that have been set up and talked about since before Halloween that there were no other holidays this time of year, however, w...
Saturday, December 20, 2008 3:54pm
We're twenty days in on the ACS countdown. I'm actually a bit surprised I've managed to last this long. If you keep up with things around here, you know I post about once a month, so doing a post each day has been trying at times, but I have been enjoying it. I've always wanted to spend a little ea...
Friday, December 19, 2008 1:37pm
Hey, it's Friday! Dandy Warhols – "Little Drummer Boy" I like the Dandy Warhols, but like most of the bands on this list, I never really listen to them. I met the singer, Courtney Taylor-Taylor at Parlay's once. Really cool guy. You can tell he's lived a "rockstar life," but overall...
Thursday, December 18, 2008 12:01pm
Is it 5pm yet? Is it Friday yet? Is it Christmas yet? All signs (and RSS feeds) point to NO. However, we're closer! And now we're even closer! And now we're closer still! And yes I blatantly ripped off They Might Be Giants! I happened upon this little weird … "gem" isn't the right word, but ...

1964. That's not a year (well, it is, but not in this context). That's the backlog of Google Reader items I had to sift through today after essentially being decommissioned for the last four days because of this wack sickness. Apparently, in my digital absence, I missed a shoe being thrown at Georg...
Tuesday, December 16, 2008 4:36pm
As the calendar weens closer and closer to Christmas, I'm getting more and more into the holiday spirit. Nothing beats walking into a house engulfed in the smell of fresh Christmas trees. To go further into the spirit of things, tonight Rhea and I will be heading out to Celebration in the Oaks afte...
Monday, December 15, 2008 10:34pm
Today marks the day that my Christmas shopping is completely done. I finished all of the purchasing yesterday, but tonight Rhea wrapped all of my presents for me and her present from me was delivered today, so I now have all of my presents bought and wrapped. It's a good feeling. And with 10 days t...
Sunday, December 14, 2008 10:15pm
I'm back to bring you more holiday ramblings and songs. A bit later than usual, but 'twas a busy Sunday as I needed to make up for the down time yesterday when Rhea so graciously took over the song selection duties. I finished my Christmas shopping today, which makes me a tad bit more relaxed now. ...
Saturday, December 13, 2008 2:01pm
Your normal MC is sick in bed today, don't worry though he'll live. It works out nicely though because it has been ska week and anyone who knows me (Hi, I'm Rhea by the way) I'm obsessed with ska. Especially the band featured today: Reel Big Fish. I have seen this band live at least 13 times and ha...

I had to use my air conditioning in my car when I went to lunch this afternoon. For those not keeping score, it snowed here yesterday. And I needed my A/C this afternoon.

Thursday, December 11, 2008 9:04am
So I'm driving to work this morning and it's rainy and cold — about 38 degrees. I think to myself "Man, another 6 degrees or so and it might snow." So I'm driving some more and the rain is splattering in this odd pattern that I've never seen before. "No… it can't… can it?" The tem...

The whole idea of Santa Claus still intrigues the hell out of me. The idea that parents the world over for countless years have been lying to their children for years about a big fat guy in a red suit coming down the chimney to deliver toys to nearly every kid in the world is crazy, at best. And no...

Christmas gets weirder and weirder every year. It becomes more of this insane rush to buy a bunch of crap for people. On Black Friday, a Walmart employee was trampled and died of asphyxiation because he couldn't breath. A guy DIED because people were in a hurry to buy an iPod and AC/DC's Walmart ex...
Monday, December 08, 2008 3:11pm
I'm going to go a different way with the selection for today. Instead of showing you some goofy, off-color song about Christmas that the general public probably hasn't ever heard, I'm going with a more serious and more popular tune. 28 years ago today, a legend in the music world was murdered. H...
Sunday, December 07, 2008 4:37pm
I guess I'll keep rolling with the Santa Claus theme of the last two songs. Santa's often getting stuck in these weird predicaments in various non-traditional (and traditional) Christmas songs. Like how in "Weird Al"'s song, he goes postal and shoots up the North Pole, or Jimmy Boyd's 1952 classic ...
Saturday, December 06, 2008 1:55pm
Just as Santa Claus has many different names and appearances around the world — Père Noël in France, Babbo Natale in Italy, and Święty Mikołaj in Poland — Santa has different appearances around the US. For instance, around New Orleans Santa is often portrayed riding in a ...
Friday, December 05, 2008 10:17am
Santa Clause (St. Nick, Kris Kringle, what-have-you) is a pretty big staple when it comes to the holidays. He's everywhere — outside Wal-Mart ringing bells for change, in the mall taking photos with crying children, 10-feet tall and inflatable on your front lawn. Not only is he everywhere in ...
Thursday, December 04, 2008 8:33am
Last year for Christmas, one of my coworkers gave me a page-a-day calendar of the Zombie Survival Guide, which has excerpts each day from Max Brooks' book of the same name. It's a pretty awesome calendar and I feel that by the time I read the next 27 days of tips and information, I'll be fully prep...
Wednesday, December 03, 2008 11:36am
I'm on the third day of posting non-crappy Christmas songs. I had this wicked dream last night. For some reason or another, I got deported and sent to Iraq. Not like, to fight or anything, they just sent me to Iraq, to live. Apparently there was some reason. Also, three guys I work with were sent t...
Tuesday, December 02, 2008 9:14am
So begins Day 2 of my Awesome Christmas Songs list. Last night I had the awesome pleasure of seeing MC Lars, MC Frontalot, and YT Cracker perform at the Howlin' Wolf. Incredible! It was a hell of a time. Those guys really know how to make a show interesting and entertaining. They're not only funny ...
Monday, December 01, 2008 2:50pm
Christmas is a pretty fun time of year. The weather is cooler, people are somewhat happier, and lights and gifts are always fun. Usually around Halloween stores and malls start blasting Christmas music (and muzak) at us and then the day after Thanksgiving, local radio stations flip the giant "CHRIS...
Wednesday, December 05, 2007 3:34pm
It's December, so a bunch of hacks that call themselves bloggers (and hell, even some professional journalists in other mediums) have started making year-end lists. Top 10 this, Top 11 that. You know the ones I'm talking about. I decided that since I've finally caved in and now call my site a blog ...
Sunday, March 25, 2007 7:40pm
So, as we've been doing lately, the whole crew got together at Parlay's for a night of drinking. it was a ton of fun, drank a lot and enjoyed each other's company. Around 1:30am, this guy walks in with these two girls. They sit next to Chris and the guy starts talking to Chris. After about 20 minu...

So, I finally have some plans for 2007. I half assed them in the last post, but here's something concrete. Eat Better Lord knows I won't cut out fast food altogether, but I seriously want to eat a little better. All I eat is shit. Go to New York This is all contingent on my raise/vacation k...

Work: Awesome. Couldn't love it more. Weekend: Freaking great. Started on Thursday with 80s night, rocked high for Lance and Mimi's party, and topped off with a fun Saturday at the Cabin with some new guests. Website: Working on a new social networking website that is combinging the best idea...
Sunday, May 28, 2006 4:19pm
It's probably from all the non-stop rocking I did last night. Last night, went to go see In Flames at the House of Blues with Kurt, Kevin, Chris, and Alex. It was nothing short of awesome. It was probably one of, if not, the best shows I've ever been to where there were no special effects and the b...
Sunday, May 14, 2006 11:55pm
So, Calie and I aren't together anymore. We're still friends and talk and will hang out, but we're not doing the relationship thing anymore. It was a mutual decision and I think it'll work well. We get a long and hardly fight and we have stuff in common. Just, I guess the umph went away. ...
Thursday, April 27, 2006 12:24pm
So Neil Young has a new album coming out called Living with War and he pretty much spells out why America's fucking up. The song that has everyone (and by 'everyone' I mean the media is making it out to be worse than it is) talking is called "Let's Impeach the President." Fox News had the lyrics po...
Wednesday, April 19, 2006 11:33pm
I've written a new application. It's called Artie – The Strongest App… in the World!, or just Artie for short. Artie's main purpose is two-fold: download appropriate album art covers for songs in your iTunes database and to create playlists based on these album art cove...
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 1:14am
I kinda forgot… Anyhow, I've been trying this new sleeping habbit. Most people think "Early to bed, early to rise" is the best way to become an early riser. Some people think that the best way to sleep is to go to sleep when you're tired and wake up when your body tells you to. Both s...
Friday, February 17, 2006 1:43am
Tonight was me and Calie's five year anniversary. Nevermind the break. We had a nice dinner at Sweet Fire & Ice. Good stuff. Last night, I started remembering the good ol' days when I wa sin the Fraggles. Watching Start Select pratice in my house makes me nostalgic. I miss those days of getting ...

I think I'm going to start blogging writing on my blog website more. And not my usual whinings and crap. Not to say I'm stopping that. Ranting will be in full force. But so will anything else I find online that seems pretty cool. I'll start now. ------------------------------------- ...
Thursday, December 29, 2005 12:20am
So, I was browsing the 8 or 9 blogs I read every day and DownloadSqaud had a cool post today. This happens to me a lot. Let's say for some reason I left my iPod at home and I have to listen to the radio. A song will come on that actually sounds good. But the DJ either already said it and I miss...
Tuesday, December 20, 2005 2:10am
The other night I was thinking about the Chipmunks (as in Alvin, Simon, Theodore) and their annoying Christmas song. I say it's annoying because I listened to it over and over trying to figure out the precise forumla for creating a chipmunk voice. I figured the best way to figure it out would be...
Monday, December 19, 2005 4:24pm
Found this online today. It's a video from SNL when Jack Black hosted. It's done by the The Lonely Island guys, a comedy troupe like Olde English . The SNL clip is hilarious. It's called "Lazy Sunday" and it's a rap about going to go see the Chronicles of Narnia. It's fabulous. EDIT: Guess...
Friday, November 25, 2005 1:46am
Had a good Thanksgiving. Fried turkey and a turducken make for the best, most southern Thanksgiving ever. -- As Machine Head plays on iTunes right now, I'll still mention that I'm listening to Skeelo and Coolio and the Ghetto Boyz in regular rotation on my iPod. I want some new music thoug...

If you've ever thought, "Man, I wish Thom York was born in Alabama," then check this out. It's a medley of Radiohead songs redone in bluegrass by a band calling themselves Rodeohead. I can't find much by them or about them, but enjoy this. Correction: The song is "Rodeohead" by Hard 'N' Phirm ...

While I'm waiting for my work to do itself for me, I figured I'd post since I'm afuckingddicted to posting here. So, like I mentioned yesterday, I picked up Weezer, Beck, and NIN's new albums. I finally gave them a listen. Beck's Guero is REALLY good. Mutations was a decent album. "Tropicalia...

I have a confession to make. This will make me a hypocrite and if me 5 years ago heard me say this, he'd utter the word "FAG!" directed at present-day me. I like blink-182. Punk, Pop, Pop-Punk — call them what you will: Dude Ranch is one of the best CDs I've ever purchased in my life. It w...

I don't think I threw this on here. I made a Fraggle's tribute site. www.thefra--les.net. It's got MP3s and images, a bio, and I plan to put some videos on there as soon as I find a suitable host. I made it for two reasons: I secretly miss it and I want to have a reuinion show. Also, if you thin...
Thursday, March 17, 2005 9:32pm
So, I mentioned a few days ago how I bought Gratitude's CD. I've listened to it on repeat for the past 3 days. I love it. It's the best CD I've purchased since, shit, maybe Weezer's Blue Album. This is amazing. It's artistry at it's finest and EVERY band should strive to be as talented as Gratitude...
Thursday, March 10, 2005 10:45pm
So, a while back I bought the re-relase of Far's Water and Solutions CD and it came with a DVD, as well as some PC crap on the CD. The enhanced portion of the CD had some links to the sites of the band members new projects. Jonah's (the singer) new band Gratitude had a site and God was the one song...

That's right. I'm downloading Wu-Tang songs. I want new music and Method Man popped back into my life via Garden State, so I figured, how bad can a rap group featuring members like the RZA, the GZA, Raekwon the Chef, and Ol' Dirty Bastard? Not bad at all, I say. Had to work Clearview tonight...

Calie's uncle Karl is in this amazing local rock band, Otel. They're quite possibly the best local act I've seen, and I've seen a lot. They're a band that plays music because they love music. When you see them play, you know that these guys aren't in it for the money, but rather the fun. Since t...
Sunday, December 05, 2004 1:05am
So, I've been on this search for new music. I have like 2500 songs on my iPod and I'm bored of nearly all of them. I've recently expanded into the quirky genre that is indie rock. Yeah, "indie" is an umbrella term, but you get what I mean. I've always been a fan of Hum and Far, and later, Sunny ...
Tuesday, October 26, 2004 9:34am
While looking through my closet one day, I found my Christmas light pants from one of the Fraggles' shows. I got thinking: what about a reunion show? Just a one-time show, no practicing (or maybe just one day). I spoke to Jacob about it and he's down with it. I think Steven will be the hardest one ...

i left the fraggles. i did this a few weeks, maybe a month, ago. it's really a very long story about why, so i'll leave that alone. but with that aside, i needed a new way to export my creative juices. i thought about another band, but im not that great of a singer and i suck at guitar, so, what ba...

I'm on the third day of posting non-crappy Christmas songs. I had this wicked dream last night. For some reason or another, I got deported and sent to Iraq. Not like, to fight or anything, they just sent me to Iraq, to live. Apparently there was some reason. Also, three guys I work with were sent t...

So begins Day 2 of my Awesome Christmas Songs list. Last night I had the awesome pleasure of seeing MC Lars, MC Frontalot, and YT Cracker perform at the Howlin' Wolf. Incredible! It was a hell of a time. Those guys really know how to make a show interesting and entertaining. They're not only funny ...

Christmas is a pretty fun time of year. The weather is cooler, people are somewhat happier, and lights and gifts are always fun. Usually around Halloween stores and malls start blasting Christmas music (and muzak) at us and then the day after Thanksgiving, local radio stations flip the giant "CHRIS...

It's December, so a bunch of hacks that call themselves bloggers (and hell, even some professional journalists in other mediums) have started making year-end lists. Top 10 this, Top 11 that. You know the ones I'm talking about. I decided that since I've finally caved in and now call my site a blog ...

So, as we've been doing lately, the whole crew got together at Parlay's for a night of drinking. it was a ton of fun, drank a lot and enjoyed each other's company. Around 1:30am, this guy walks in with these two girls. They sit next to Chris and the guy starts talking to Chris. After about 20 minu...

So, I finally have some plans for 2007. I half assed them in the last post, but here's something concrete. Eat Better Lord knows I won't cut out fast food altogether, but I seriously want to eat a little better. All I eat is shit. Go to New York This is all contingent on my raise/vacation k...

Work: Awesome. Couldn't love it more. Weekend: Freaking great. Started on Thursday with 80s night, rocked high for Lance and Mimi's party, and topped off with a fun Saturday at the Cabin with some new guests. Website: Working on a new social networking website that is combinging the best idea...

It's probably from all the non-stop rocking I did last night. Last night, went to go see In Flames at the House of Blues with Kurt, Kevin, Chris, and Alex. It was nothing short of awesome. It was probably one of, if not, the best shows I've ever been to where there were no special effects and the b...

So, Calie and I aren't together anymore. We're still friends and talk and will hang out, but we're not doing the relationship thing anymore. It was a mutual decision and I think it'll work well. We get a long and hardly fight and we have stuff in common. Just, I guess the umph went away. ...

So Neil Young has a new album coming out called Living with War and he pretty much spells out why America's fucking up. The song that has everyone (and by 'everyone' I mean the media is making it out to be worse than it is) talking is called "Let's Impeach the President." Fox News had the lyrics po...

I've written a new application. It's called Artie – The Strongest App… in the World!, or just Artie for short. Artie's main purpose is two-fold: download appropriate album art covers for songs in your iTunes database and to create playlists based on these album art cove...

I kinda forgot… Anyhow, I've been trying this new sleeping habbit. Most people think "Early to bed, early to rise" is the best way to become an early riser. Some people think that the best way to sleep is to go to sleep when you're tired and wake up when your body tells you to. Both s...

Tonight was me and Calie's five year anniversary. Nevermind the break. We had a nice dinner at Sweet Fire & Ice. Good stuff. Last night, I started remembering the good ol' days when I wa sin the Fraggles. Watching Start Select pratice in my house makes me nostalgic. I miss those days of getting ...

I think I'm going to start blogging writing on my blog website more. And not my usual whinings and crap. Not to say I'm stopping that. Ranting will be in full force. But so will anything else I find online that seems pretty cool. I'll start now. ------------------------------------- ...

So, I was browsing the 8 or 9 blogs I read every day and DownloadSqaud had a cool post today. This happens to me a lot. Let's say for some reason I left my iPod at home and I have to listen to the radio. A song will come on that actually sounds good. But the DJ either already said it and I miss...

The other night I was thinking about the Chipmunks (as in Alvin, Simon, Theodore) and their annoying Christmas song. I say it's annoying because I listened to it over and over trying to figure out the precise forumla for creating a chipmunk voice. I figured the best way to figure it out would be...

Found this online today. It's a video from SNL when Jack Black hosted. It's done by the The Lonely Island guys, a comedy troupe like Olde English . The SNL clip is hilarious. It's called "Lazy Sunday" and it's a rap about going to go see the Chronicles of Narnia. It's fabulous. EDIT: Guess...

Had a good Thanksgiving. Fried turkey and a turducken make for the best, most southern Thanksgiving ever. -- As Machine Head plays on iTunes right now, I'll still mention that I'm listening to Skeelo and Coolio and the Ghetto Boyz in regular rotation on my iPod. I want some new music thoug...

If you've ever thought, "Man, I wish Thom York was born in Alabama," then check this out. It's a medley of Radiohead songs redone in bluegrass by a band calling themselves Rodeohead. I can't find much by them or about them, but enjoy this. Correction: The song is "Rodeohead" by Hard 'N' Phirm ...

While I'm waiting for my work to do itself for me, I figured I'd post since I'm afuckingddicted to posting here. So, like I mentioned yesterday, I picked up Weezer, Beck, and NIN's new albums. I finally gave them a listen. Beck's Guero is REALLY good. Mutations was a decent album. "Tropicalia...

I have a confession to make. This will make me a hypocrite and if me 5 years ago heard me say this, he'd utter the word "FAG!" directed at present-day me. I like blink-182. Punk, Pop, Pop-Punk — call them what you will: Dude Ranch is one of the best CDs I've ever purchased in my life. It w...

I don't think I threw this on here. I made a Fraggle's tribute site. www.thefra--les.net. It's got MP3s and images, a bio, and I plan to put some videos on there as soon as I find a suitable host. I made it for two reasons: I secretly miss it and I want to have a reuinion show. Also, if you thin...

So, I mentioned a few days ago how I bought Gratitude's CD. I've listened to it on repeat for the past 3 days. I love it. It's the best CD I've purchased since, shit, maybe Weezer's Blue Album. This is amazing. It's artistry at it's finest and EVERY band should strive to be as talented as Gratitude...

So, a while back I bought the re-relase of Far's Water and Solutions CD and it came with a DVD, as well as some PC crap on the CD. The enhanced portion of the CD had some links to the sites of the band members new projects. Jonah's (the singer) new band Gratitude had a site and God was the one song...

That's right. I'm downloading Wu-Tang songs. I want new music and Method Man popped back into my life via Garden State, so I figured, how bad can a rap group featuring members like the RZA, the GZA, Raekwon the Chef, and Ol' Dirty Bastard? Not bad at all, I say. Had to work Clearview tonight...

Calie's uncle Karl is in this amazing local rock band, Otel. They're quite possibly the best local act I've seen, and I've seen a lot. They're a band that plays music because they love music. When you see them play, you know that these guys aren't in it for the money, but rather the fun. Since t...

So, I've been on this search for new music. I have like 2500 songs on my iPod and I'm bored of nearly all of them. I've recently expanded into the quirky genre that is indie rock. Yeah, "indie" is an umbrella term, but you get what I mean. I've always been a fan of Hum and Far, and later, Sunny ...
Tuesday, October 26, 2004 9:34am
While looking through my closet one day, I found my Christmas light pants from one of the Fraggles' shows. I got thinking: what about a reunion show? Just a one-time show, no practicing (or maybe just one day). I spoke to Jacob about it and he's down with it. I think Steven will be the hardest one ...

This update's just to let you know about an update to the my mind section. it's called i am an individual just like everyone else. it might make a lot of people dislike me. ah whatever. i don't want to sound like an asshole or anything, but you know, sometimes shit pisses me off and i'm gonna writ...

so lately, ive noticed my taste in music slightly shifting. my favorite bands used to consist of bands like korn, slipknot, rob zombie etc. then it changed to bands more like staind and deftones and tool and taproot. but now my taste features the likes of Far, Onelinedrawing (which is essentially f...

so i had my court date today. it went well… unfortunately, the people i hit showed up, so they didn't dismiss the case right away. i had to go to pre-trial. then they got called in, told the da that everything got settled, then called me in, said everyone was satisfied with the outcome and th...

i left the fraggles. i did this a few weeks, maybe a month, ago. it's really a very long story about why, so i'll leave that alone. but with that aside, i needed a new way to export my creative juices. i thought about another band, but im not that great of a singer and i suck at guitar, so, what ba...

I got tha new Godsmack CD yesterday. It's very bad-ass. Oh yeah, I'm starting to spell "the" "t-h-a"" in remembrance of Rage Against The Machine. Zack always spelled his "the's" with an "a." As soon as I think of some more things to put up on this here site, there'll be more. Probably some picture...
